of the services and was assisted by
Rev. H. G. MoClusky of the First

farm home south of this city. The
greatest object of her life was to be
a living testimony for the Master she

prayers and Christian influence is
dear to scores of people.
She bre-tthed a song into the air,
It fell to the earth, she knew not
where;
And long after, from beginning to
end.
The song was found in the heart
of a friend.

HARDING NOW FAVORS
SOLDIER BONUS BILL
Washington. Nov. 14. It was said
at the capitol today that within the
last few days the president, in con
versation with a friend, stated that
h now believes the country wants
thf soldiers' bonus and there is no
reason to delay the passage of the bill
until the new congress meets.
The president, it was said, based
his opinion as to the country's posi
tion on the returns in Illinois, Iowa
and Oklahoma, which states voted
bonuses to their ex-service men last
TiKsday. It wfs said that an effort
undoubtedly will be made to pas3 the
bill before final adjournment of con
gress March 1, 1923.

ANOTHER FINE
BANQUET OF
BIBLE CLASS
YOUNG MEN'S BIBLE CLASS OF
METHODIST CHURCH OB
SERVE TWELFTH.
ED P. SMITH OF OMAHA SPEAKS
Local Speakers Make a Very Snappy
Opening Portion of Program
Feast is Sumptuous.
From Wednesday's Dally
With each passing year at the ban
quets of the Young Men's Bible Class
of the Methodist church the guests
have felt that it was the best that
that might tome after would fail to
(reach the height of the enjoyment,
I but as the years roll around the class
meets together with the young
men
that
of the community it is found that
there is always a treat and a sur
prise that makes the banquet always
ja little better.
I Not the least of the success of the
banquets has been due to the ladies
of the church who prepare the menu
and serve the repast and their won
derful ability in this line always af
fords a rare treat. ,
I This was found to last evening
j when the guests entered the banquet
i hall in the basement of the church
j to find there arranged very attrae
; lively the tables around which the
I men of the community were to be
'seated. With snowy linen, the bright
j ness of the red candles and their
i sof t glow as well as the greens and
; flowers that were used in decora
. tions, the tables were objects if the
greatest beauty and charm,
j The active serving was looked af
ter by the younger women of the
j church and the girls while the ladies
of the aid society arranged and pre
pared the feat.
That it was par excellent may be
judged by the menu which was as
follows:
Salted Peanuts
Pineapple With Crated Cheese
Chicken Pie Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Candied Carrots Cold Slaw
Rolls Butter
Apple Pie With Whipped Cream
Coffee
During the course of the banquet
the Holly orchestra under the lead-.
ership of W. R. Holly gave a delight-'
ful program of high class numbers (
with xvlophone solo numbers by An- i
ton Bajeck. The members of the or-
chestra were Miss Honor Seybert,
piano; . R. Holly, violin:. Jack
Ledgeway, cornet-; Cyril Kalina,
clarinet; Anton Bajeck, xylophone.
The invocation was offered by Rev.
W. S. Crom of the Mynard U. B.
church.
The committee and the class were
fortunate in their selection of the
toastmaster for the banquet in se
curing Raymond C. Cook, who in
Hi is role was at his best and his
gentle roasts of the various speakers
were well put and to
with equal grace Mr.
the broadsides that the taunted ones
gave in return. j
The first speaker was Hallie B. '
Perry, the class president, who gave .
the visitors a cordial welcome to the
banquet and an invitation to the fel
lowship of the class if they had no
other church home and assured them
of the opportunity of Christian ser
vice that they might find in the class
and its work. i
In response to the address of wel- '
come Mr. Fred J. Warren, master
councilor of Cass chapter, Order of
De Molay, responded very fittingly
and expressed the general feeling of
pleasure at the repast the ladies had
prepared and the work of the class
in the community as well as paying
a well deserved tribute to the work j
of the faithful teacher of the class j
in the years that he has labored with
the class.
Given the subject. "Latch Strings,"
Searl S. Davis proved a real enter
tainer and his clever array of jokes
on the various speakers and well
known persons at the banquet board
kept the audience in rare good hu
mor. j
The banquet was the first oppor- ,
tunity that had been given the new
pastor of the church, the Rev
Frank
E. Pfoutz, to appear before a Platts
mouth audience outside of his church
congregation and his remarks while
short were well chosen, his subject,
"Door Knobs," was illustrated as the
life of the individual or the church,
that the door that opened outward
was ready to swing wide to the best
things, the higher Ideals and the
Christian brotherhood if the indi
vidual gave the opportunity of turn
ing the knob on the door from the
inside to welcome the visitor.
I Last year the banquet committee
; was disappointed in failing to se-
cure Ed P. Smith of Omaha, then
the chief executive of the state me
tropolis, but this year they were
more fortunate and altho the train
was delayed the speaker of the eve
ning arrived in time for the pleas
ant gathering and justified all the
. fond anticipations that had been held
i by the banquetors in his address that
followed.
Mr. Smith took up at the com
mencement of his address the num
ber of wonderful inventions that had
brought together the big world and
knitted closer the ties that bound all '
parts of the globe, the inventions and
comforts that had come to bless man
kind and which were now a part of
the story of the past in the way of
achievement.
The speaker in addressing the
young men held out to them the dos-I
sibilities of the future that was to be 'store at 3:30. -This affords patrons
theirs In the way of great benefits Jan opportunity to have deliveries
to the human race and first of these ' made in time for the mirtday and
he held up the sacred ness of the evening meal?. Notice their an
American home, the love of virtue nouncement in another column of
and honor among th coming leaders this paper.
j of the nation. Mr. Smith pointed out
in the great city of Omaha the grow
ing tendency to regard lightly the
vows of matrimony, the hundreds of
cases of domestice infidelity and
broken homes that required the ser
vice of one judge of the district
court, week in and week out, to try
.and which was but a symbol of the
spirit that was leading to the de
ist ruction of the home. This was the
'cause of the state having to maintain
homes at Geneva and Kearney for
girls and boys who had transgressed
the laws of the land and were drift
ing away from the pale of good citi
zenship. Also the need of more higher
standard of manhood was touched
upon in the record of the homes for
the unfortunates at Milford and at
the Salvation Army home at Omaha.
Another of the chief points brot
out by the speaker was the fact that
the great wealth of the nation was
being piled up while the many were
suffering and paying for the accum
ulated wealth of the few, the speaker
taking as an example' the great divi
dend of 4 00 per cent declared by the
Standard Oil company while the
workers in the industries were en-
K-'iged
m a great industrial strug-
Igle against conditions that confront
j ed them. The need for universal
treatment of this problem was stress-
'd by Mr. Smith and he offered as!
the second great problem that con-j
fronted the next twenty-five years,
that of a more just equalization of
the capital and labor of the nation
for industrial peace.
The Christian life and the practic
ing of the teachings of the Master
for the betterment of the world was
urged by the speaker forcibly and
eloquently and made a deep impres
sion on his hearer-!.
At the conclusion of the banquet
Attorney C. A. Rawls offered the
benediction on the gathering that
had enjoyed an evening of the great
est profit as well as pleasure.

LOSES OUT IN THE ELECTION
In the election in Butte county.
South Dakota, this year, one of the
former well known newspapermen of
Nebraska was swept to defeat in a
hard fought battle for county audi
tor. This was Rush O. Fellows, one
time publisher of the Plattsmouth
Daily Post and the Cass County
Democrat. Mr. Fellows, who was for
merly a red hot republican, has re
pented his shortcomings and become
one of the great unwashed hosts of
democracy and as the candidate of
the democrats met defeat by 18S
votes. Mr. Fellows was second in a
three-cornered fight and carried the
city of Belle Fourche, his home, by
a large vote.

LEGISLATURE WILL
CANVASSTHE VOTE
State Board of Canvassers Has Noth
ing to Canvass Except Vote on
Congressional Vacancies.
Official election returns from fif
teen counties have been received by
Secretary of State Anisberry. Eleven
counties in the Sixth congressional
district have sent in returns on the
election to fill a vacancy and Nemaha
Johnson and Pawnee counties have
tiled returns on the congressional va
cancy in the nrst district. i
The returns on the state tickets are
' in duplicate, one copy to remain seal- j
ed and transmitted to the legislature'
which canvasses the vite on United ;
i States stnator, congressmen, judges
j of the district court, state officers'
and on all questions under the con
stitution voted for by the whole peo
ple of the state,
j The secretary of state uses one set
of the returns for the purpose of
making an abstract of the vote which
he submits to the legislature to aid
it in its work of canvassing.
I Under the law as it now stands
jthe state canvassing board canvasses
the vote on president and vice presi
dent and the vote on vacancies' in
congress. If the legislature canvasses
the vote on referred laws, there will
I be nothing for the state board to can
vass this year except the vote on va
, f ancies in two congressional districts.
While Governor McKelvit declined to
call special elections to fill congres
sional vacancies his election procla
mation says the vote will be canvass
ed in the manner provided by law
governing special elections.
The state canvassinb board is re
quired to meet ten days after elec
tion, or next Saturday, to canvass the
vole on vacancies in congress. The
same board is required to meet the
sixth monday after election, but if it
cannot canvass the vote on referred
laws there will be nothing for the
state board to do December IS. This
late date after election was fixed by
law years ago to permit plenty of
time for the return of the soldier
ON THE CORNER"
vole. The date has not been changed
tho there is no soldter vote at this
time nud nothing for t he board to
canvass this year.
A GOOD m FOR
LAW ENFORCER
If Legislature Dees Not Repeal Code
Bill Cass County Has a Good
Man for S'ate Sheriff.
If the state legislature declines to
repeal the code bill as Governor
Elect Bryan has urged and it be
comes necessary to continue to ojer
ate under this l:nv until it is re
pealed, it will be up to the new gov-;
crnor to do the next best thing and j Quinton who responded promptly
economize as far as possible by ap- , and reaching the scene found an ag
pointing the men who can be depend-i ed man reposing in the ditch and ap-
ed upon to .vive the taxpayers
real
services for their money.
Here in Cass county we have a
gentleman who would make a real
state sheriff or law enforcement offi
cer for the state in the person of Wil
liam D. Wheeler, who served Cass
county faithfully and wtll as sheriff
for four years from ISO" to 1901 and
whose record as a law enforcer was
jail that could be asked.
j Whether or not Mr. Wheeler would
'desire this office is not known, but
one thing is ;;nre and that is Gover
nor Bryan could find no better man
or one that would reflect greater
credit on his administration than
"Billie" Wheeler.
It is sure that wherever he is
known the people of the state will
approve of the suggestion to make
this gentleman the new law enforc
ing officer.

FIRELIGHT
Just as the warm glow of the burning log
cheers our hearts and brightens our spirits,
so the gift of jewelry stirs our deepest feeling
with delight and appreciation. Unlike the
hearthfire which dies to garnet embers and
is gone, "gifts that last' are flames of ten
